804,000 Borrowers to Benefit from Joe Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness

Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness program plans to cancel $39 billion in debt for over 804,000 borrowers. The relief is a result of adjustments made to income-driven repayment plans, and borrowers making 20 or 25 years' monthly IDR payments will be eligible for forgiveness. The Education Department aims to rectify "historical inaccuracies" in the tally of payments that qualify for forgiveness. Loan forgiveness will begin on July 14 for borrowers who have reached the forgiveness threshold. President Biden criticized Republican lawmakers for objecting to relief measures despite benefiting from loan forgiveness.
